SCENE 1

(Lights come up on a stage set up with various boxes, etc, a nice guitar and a backdrop for a Country Star Competition)

(PEPPER and CHI-CHI enter)

CHI-CHI: I can’t believe you made us late again, Pepper.

PEPPER: I’m sorry Chi-Chi. I had to get my rhinestones polished.  (PEPPER gets out her guitar and sets it on a stand)

CHI-CHI: You need to stop worrying about your appearance and think more about the music.

PEPPER: My appearance is half of what makes us an attraction, Chi-chi.

CHI-CHI: Your appearance? What about mine?

PEPPER: Sorry, sis. But you kind of let yourself go.

CHI-CHI: What?

PEPPER: The only reason we keep you on is because of your singing.

CHI-CHI: We? We who?

PEPPER: We, me and the fans.

CHI-CHI: The fans adore me.

PEPPER: They adore me. They tolerate you.

CHI-CHI: That’s it. After this I’m going solo.

PEPPER: Good luck with that.

CHI-CHI: I can do it. I can.

PEPPER: You can’t even play an instrument. Or even write your own music. You’re lucky I can’t sing or I’d be going solo. Maybe I could just lipsinc. The lipsinc thing is big now.

CHI-CHI: You’d never make it either. You’d be like a deer in a headlight.

PEPPER: I wouldn’t. (Gets scared)

CHI-CHI: You’re terrified of being on stage. The only reason you survive is because all eyes are on me… the singer. You’re nothing without me either.

PEPPER: (Scared) Man this place is big.

CHI-CHI: Oh, no. Don’t you…

PEPPER: How many people are gonna be here, Chi-Chi? Are they gonna have people here for the audition? Looks like a lot of people could be here.

CHI-CHI: Nobody’s here. Just us.

PEPPER: (Starts breathing hard) I can’t do this, Chi-Chi. (Breathing really hard)

CHI-CHI: Come on. You’ve played hundred of bars in front of hundreds of people.

PEPPER: But not all at once.

CHI-CHI: Calm down, Pepper. It’ll be okay.

PEPPER

Can’t… breathe…

CHI-CHI: Don’t do this, Pepper. You always do this when we get close… Please not now. This is our…

(PEPPER passes out into crate so only her boot are showing) … big break. (Looks at her) Pepper? (Gets angry) Pepper! (Looks at watch) You know what? You want to go solo? Fine. You go solo. Have a nice audition. (Stomps off stage)
